"Michael, Row The Boat Ashore"(?!?!?)...and "Heroin".
Gotta admit that the dude was eclectic back then.

Where's the buying option for a single LP of the first 11 songs, without the T-shirt, without "Michael, Row The Boat Ashore" and other GRAMMY®-nominated garbage, and without the $140 price?

Funny how some songwriters create their best songs in the first two years, and everything after is a little less.

 

[pfft]

The collector in me really wants this, but after listening to the sound clips I think I'll pass.

That was a hacked page - someone figured out URL and got there. Official announcement is possibly tomorrow. I'm sure there would be separate LP and CD. I think that the artwork is hideous.

As for tape, i'm really excited to hear those 1965 demos.

I love how Lou laughs before annoucing "words & music by Lou Reed". Like he though to himself who the hell will use/need this song anyway with such a lyrics.
